I agree with you, but who is suppose to be the one who does something about it when these individuals try to do awful things? The government shouldn't attempt to rely on good faith from individuals and should instead leave no wiggle room for this kind of behavior.

It’s not fema’s job to cover all the bases. The tenant laws should have prevented that behavior. But no one wants to read an article about local laws, because fema makes headlines.
